Asabiraki Namacho Saké, Honjozo Nama Sake

Item # 28496

This Namacho saké only goes through one pasteurization, which brings out a very aromatic, fruity, rich saké. A deep, intense flavor that smoothly fades on the palate for a dry, clean finish.

Staff Pick Notes

If staring into the sake fridge feels like looking into the void, let me suggest that you start here. Nama and namacho sakes are some of the most expressive sakes you can try without breaking the bank. While a highly polished daigingo will be delicate and fruity, namas often have more of a satisfying upfront fruit flavor that is quite surprising compared to the mild, grainy tasting junmai that you find at this price. Asabiraki's namacho does all of the above in a fun 300ml format for a fun $9. Although I usually drink this bottle by itself, sake pairings extend far beyond Japanese cuisine. If you want to do it right, try this with a chicken cutlet sandwich.
